Overview of LGUW6221MELA – Snap-in 420V 220µF Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 105°C
The LGUW6221MELA is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated 420 V with 220 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. Designed for general-purpose use, it delivers high-temperature endurance and robust ripple-current capability for power-electronic assemblies.
Key attributes include snap-in radial can packaging, a wide operating temperature range up to 105°C, and specified endurance under rated ripple current for reliable long-term operation.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 220 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- High Voltage Rating — Rated voltage of 420 V for applications requiring elevated DC voltage handling.
- Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to 105°C and specified to withstand 3000 hours with rated ripple current at 105°C.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current examples: 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 1.573 A at 50 kHz, with frequency-dependent coefficients provided in the datasheet.
- Mounting & Package — Snap-in radial can package for secure chassis or PCB mounting in through-hole assemblies.
- Environmental Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Physical Dimensions — Size: L: 4.5 × D: 2.5 cm; seated height listed as 1.772 inch (reference dimension).
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power electronics — Energy storage and smoothing in circuits that require 420 V class capacitance with high-temperature endurance.
- Industrial equipment — Use in equipment where long endurance at elevated temperature and rated ripple current tolerance are required.
- Chassis-mounted power modules — Snap-in radial can format for secure mounting in through-hole power assemblies.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 420 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC link and power applications.
- Validated high-temperature endurance: Specified to withstand 3000 hours at 105°C with rated ripple current, supporting reliable operation in hot environments.
- Frequency-aware ripple performance: Ripple current values provided across frequencies (example: 1.1 A at 120 Hz, 1.573 A at 50 kHz) allow designers to size capacitors against actual operating conditions.
- Robust mounting: Snap-in radial can package simplifies installation for through-hole power modules and chassis-mounted designs.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity reduces material compliance risk for global product deployments.
